[CLG] While I respect that view, I cannot agree in the slightest. ARIN
holds two public policy meetings each year and under the current policy
development process those two meetings are central to the adoption of
policy. As such, if we were to stall after every October meeting because
there are also elections held, we would become much less effective.

There is good reason for only five of the fifteen AC seats to open each
year. This provides continuity and allows our work to proceed unhindered.

I believe it would actually be a grave disservice to the community if we
were to stall the process now.
Plus, any policy sent to last call this month will be voted on by the "new
elected" AC next month before it can be recommended for adoption, so the
"new crew" will indeed get to "deal with it." Which I am looking forward to
- welcome to the AC Milton!

Cheers,
